Jessica McClintock Eau de Parfum opens with ylang-ylang, basil, blackcurrant and bergamot, then moves into a heart of jasmine, lily of the valley and rose: a fresh, green, floral women's fragrance.

What does Jessica McClintock (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most common settings, with office and evening following. Most see it as feminine.

It starts with a citrusy, fruity freshness, and the basil adds a green, lightly spicy edge that keeps it crisp. In the heart, jasmine, lily of the valley and rose form a floral bouquet, and musk in the base closes it with a soft, powdery sweetness.
